Troubleshooting Claude
- Members on a Team or Enterprise plan cannot add the connector
- On Team and Enterprise plans an Owner adds custom connectors in Organization settings, then Connectors. Members then connect it with their own account.
- The Free plan only allows one custom connector
- One is enough: your Metorial URL carries every app your team approves, so you never need a second connector.
- Tools do not show up in a chat
- Connectors are switched on per conversation. Open the + menu in the chat, choose Connectors, and turn Metorial on.
